564 Chapter 20 Create and Organize Notes

Working with Note Containers.

Each piece of information you store on a notebook page exists within a note container.

Similar to a text box that you might use to position text in a Microsoft Word document

or on a Microsoft PowerPoint slide, a note container consists of a frame that has a move

handle and a sizing handle. Each object (such as a text block, image, or URL) within the

note container has an object selector.

Object selector Move handle Sizing handle

The frame, move handle, sizing handle, and object selector are visible only when you point to the

content within the note container.

Unlike a text box in other programs, you don’t have to insert a note container on the

page before entering content into it—simply click anywhere on the page and type or

paste content, or insert content from another source, to create the container. A note

container can contain any sort of content, such as text, images, handwritten notes,

screen clippings, or Web notes (Web page content you send to OneNote directly from

Internet Explorer).

You can manipulate a note container on the page in the same way that you would

manipulate a text box or other type of content frame in a word-processing or graphics

program. You can change its size, relocate it on the page, and cut, copy, or delete it.
